The lighter strings on the Epiphone reduce the bottom end for sure. I purchased one several weeks ago it was fitted with 0012 to 0053s which I found a bit hard on the fingers as I've been playing electrics for a while set up with 009s so I put 0010s on the Hummingbird.This was only a temporary measure until my callouses hardened and left hand becomes stronger which is the case and I'll be fitting a set of 0011s which I have waiting on the sidelines. Eventually I'll fit some 0012-0053s.. Experience has taught me that patience wins in the end, I'm 69 and it's good to have something to look forward to.
You'll never hear the difference between the two, without playing them, and Feeling them resonate.
There are some wonderful entry and mid-priced Taylors. I started playing a year and a half ago, and practice an average of 2 hours a day, every day. For the first 6 months I played a $300 Fender dreadnought with a solid spruce top, that was good enough to make me realize I really wanted to keep playing, but after a while I came to realize that the sound was both limited and limiting. So I bought a $1,000 Taylor K214c, with a solid top and composite Koa sides. I really, really recommend that guitar for anyone who is at a comparable point on the learning curve. It is super easy to fret, has wonderful tone and sustain, and is a fantastic quality/price ratio. I feel that I am improving rapidly but it will be YEARS before I outgrow my Taylor - it’s just a great guitar. I just change the strings every 6 weeks or so, and that more than anything keeps it ringing beautifully.
Good video as always, wondering if you can do some Doors stuff? Like who scared you or crystal ship maybe?
Keep the Taylor at the house for recording and take the Epiphone out for the gigs.
Very interesting LJ, that Taylor is beautiful. I must say the epiphone is great value, I have a Seagull S6 that I bought second hand and I love it.
Hello,
I have bought Epiphone AJ 220sce guitar , it's just a weak old and it has company fitted strings, this guitar has very sharp and bright sound when plugged off, but I m crazy for warm and groovy sounds of guitar
So plz advice is there any way to make my guitar sound as warm as I want it to sound? changing the strings can do ?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for your comparison it's good.
I would definitely recommend the Epiphone for a newer guitarist who wants an acoustic with a professional sound! I love mine a ton, and if you can find one for a good price, get it! You won’t regret it.
Taylor’s are incredible. To me there’s no comparison. The epiphone doesn’t sound bad though.
I agree but we must remember that the Epiphone has 0010s on it and the fuller sound of the Taylor can probably be attributed to the 0012s fitted to it.
@@TonyBurke100 absolutely. in the studio tone is really evident with thicker strings.
They both sound lovely to me...Great tones matched with your fantastic ability to make them shine... I'm a big fan of Yamaha guitars but would have a Hummingbird in a heart beat if my wife would let me... Many thanks for sharing....
Don't tell her Mark !! 😆👌🎸🎸🎸🎸
Can you make "stolen dance" lesson?
-First song sounded like *Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out* by *Jimmy Cox/Derek and the Dominos.*
-Second song sounded like *Still Got The Blues* by *Gary Moore*
I have an Epi Hummingbird, and a big bucks Maton ECW80C, both with pro setups done, and I will go for the Epi just about every time. Great tone and playability, and the build quality/ finish is superb for the price. The only thing I don't like about the Epiphone is the narrower nut width, with 1 5/8" as compared to 1 3/4" on the genuine article, but that's only because of my sausage like fingers.
I've played a Gibson J 50 for fifty years and recently got the Epiphone Dove, great guitar but yeah the narrow nut with thick carpenter's fingers is challenging, I use a capo at the second fret a lot. However, I also just bought a cheap mandolin, so that's a narrow neck on another level!
Can you tell me the song name you played at Beginning that was osom
I just fell in love with the Taylor 814CE! Sadly I am abroad for a year and can only afford a cheap 200 Euros guitar for my traveling
What was is the first song you played, sounds super familiar !
The song is called 'When you're down n out'
I was thinking of getting a Taylor 414ce-R v class. Do you think it’s a good guitar? It’s my first guitar.
I really don't know the models of all Taylors in the world, there are so many, you you'll have to do your research I'm afraid. The reason I picked a Taylor was for very specific reasons for me and my playing. Forget brands, try to find something that works for you within your budget.
I have the same guitar! Love it.
For 3k plus you would expect a great sound, but Epiphones are fantastic quality, playability, and value for the money. I have a Epiphone Texan and I love it to bits.
The guitar is only as good as the person's ability to play it.
somewhat
@@jimst3r1 watch John 5 on the hello Kitty guitar lol he's a damn legend tho
CharlieRootsMusic 90 I’ve seen that dude ahahah John 5 is awesome. But it is true that a better guitar does sound better and it does help. Plus that video he’s probably using 1000$ + amps
@@jimst3r1 nah it's just a kids first brand hello Kitty guitar, he can shred on a broom tho.
Disagree. There’s definitely a difference between the sound of a shit guitar vs a nice one
If you buy the Epiphone "inspired by Gibson" Hummingbird you'll be blown away (I just bought one). Its around £750 but man it's so good.
Hey bro, how much is the price of the hummingbird? Electroacoustics
Around $300
Can you use the epiphone on upcoming lessons ?
Sorry but I don't own it😐
Lovin the Taylor. The Epiphone sound brighter but the Taylor sounds much better.
An Epi Hummingbird is killer with bone nut, saddle and bridge pins. I've got one and a Martin D28. Play the Hummingbird more.
Is Epiphone hummingbird good for intermediate guitar players?
Great on 0.12 string but Hard touching
Clearly hear the difference brother....👍🏻
What's the name of the second song
Autumn leaves😉
Well that Taylor makes it’s presence known right away!
I bought a sigma DMST+ for £200 because it sounded a lot better better than other guitars in that price range.
Megadeth She wolf please
Epiphone makes some great sounding budget guitars, the tuning machines aren't the best, but they work.
How are they not "the best"? Aren't they Grovers?
@@andreborges2881 Not necessarily. My Epiphone PR-150 has generic tuning keys.
My Hummingbird has Grovers and they are excellent tuners.
bite used guitar Epiphone DR-500mce.its all solid wood for 500 euro
I can easily hear the difference online. I bought one of those 200 Epiphone models 30-years ago at a local guitar store that is no more. The Epi is playable, but I've never seen one that had a good sound. Mine is just something to pick up and play when alone. No string change or adjustment makes any difference... it's just a no-sounding guitar.
I was getting upset with my guitar progress until I changed my strings. So the strings and guitar would make one sound a wholeeeee lot better.
👍🎸
What strings are you using
I have Yamaha F310 and that's also ?Made in Indonesia. That's best budget guitar in India.
i have it as my first guitar thinking to change to that epiphone when i hit my third year of learning
Can u comment down the name of the first song✌✌
Love Epiphone guitars but the Taylor takes it.
Taylor all day here.
The Taylor has right amount of midrange, the epiphone has too much. I just received my epiphone Aj210ce and i like it. Very good for the money, but yeah my taylor 214ce sounds a bit better
I prefer ibanez acoustic guitars to anything they sound great and they are very reasonable priced
Damn it, you are getting Epiphone Humming Bird Pro at €200!! In India we get this guitar for €449.49 😔
Night and Day difference!
taylor sounds too sweet for a cut guitar i want o sound like a cowboy
I mean the taylor has a much more mellow tone but not for the price difference imo.
It's not just about the tone😉
@@leejohnblackmoremusic
Maybe one day i can afford a guitar as much as a used car but untill then cant justify price difference over american quality and play ability
i like the clunky sound of cut guitars personal taste
Epiphone win for the money
For me Taylor wins the battle. The high level..💯👌
Next time dont tell us the which guitar costs the most and the least because our brain automatically makes what we know is the more expensive one to sound better if u get me
Dude the sound is a million miles away! If you can't hear it yet you will!🤣🎸
Wow i like that epiphone can u sell that to me
It's sold now dude😉
wow really how much
You should put the same strings to both guitars. Taylor have probably 0.12 so it sounds cleaner and louder. You cant compare two guitars using different strings on each. It have no sense.
🤦♂️
Camera Microphone will never give a true sound.
Taylor wins. Hands down
Taylor is Best.....
Acoustic sounds the hummingbird better, in my opinion
😆👍
My guitar is 100$ and ive lerned a lot by her side but for me she sounds as a 1000$ guitar
comparing a $ 3000 guitar with a $ 200 guitar is absurd, it would be normal to compare guitars that are at the same price
Thanks for your creative feedback. I wouldn't call it absurd at all. The idea is that you can still get fantastic sound from a £200 guitar right ! Yes, I'm sure it's the norm to find 1000s videos comparing two guitars that are the same price.. and thank goodness I'm not normal 🤣👍
